2 Thessalonians 2:8-12 BBE
(8) And then will come the revelation of that evil one, whom the Lord Jesus will put to death with the breath of his mouth, and give to destruction by the revelation of his coming; [Isa. 11:4]
(9) Even the one whose coming is marked by the working of Satan, with all power and signs and false wonders,
(10) And with every deceit of wrongdoing among those whose fate is destruction; because they were quite without that love of the true faith (John 8:31-32) by which they might have salvation.
(11) And for this cause, God will give them up to the power of deceit and they will put their faith in what is false:
(12) So that they all may be judged, who had no faith in what is true, but took pleasure in evil.
2 Thessalonians 2:8-12 ALT
(8) And then the lawless [one] will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and will destroy by the appearance of His Arrival, [Isa. 11:4]
(9) of whom is his [i.e., the lawless one's] arrival according to [the] supernatural working of Satan, in all power and signs and wonders of deceit [fig., counterfeit miracles],
(10) and in all deception of the unrighteousness among the ones perishing, because they did not receive the love of the truth (John 8:31-32) for them to be saved.
(11) And for this reason God will send to them a supernatural working of deception, for them to believe the lie,
(12) so that they shall be judged, all the ones not having believed the truth, _but_ the ones having delighted in unrighteousness.
2 Thessalonians 2:8-12 GW
(8) Then the man of sin will be revealed and the Lord Jesus will destroy him by what he says. When the Lord Jesus comes, his appearance will put an end to this man. [Isa. 11:4]
(9) The man of sin will come with the power of Satan. He will use every kind of power, including miraculous and wonderful signs. But they will be lies.
(10) He will use everything that God disapproves of to deceive those who are dying, those who refused to love the truth (John 8:31-32) that would save them.
(11) That's why God will send them a powerful delusion so that they will believe a lie.
(12) Then everyone who did not believe the truth, but was delighted with what God disapproves of, will be condemned.

(8) And then "the Lawless One" will be revealed, "whom" "the Lord" "will consume" "by the spirit of His mouth," and will bring to nought by the brightness of His presence. [Isa. 11:4]
(9) His coming is according to the working of Satan in all power and miraculous signs and lying wonders,
(10) and in all deceit of unrighteousness in those being lost, because they did not receive the love of the truth (John 8:31-32) in order for them to be saved.
(11) And because of this, God will send to them a working of error, for them to believe the lie,
(12) that all may be judged, those not believing the truth, but who have delighted in unrighteousness.
2 Thessalonians 2:8-12 NWT
8 Then, indeed, the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will do away with by the spirit of his mouth and bring to nothing by the manifestation of his presence. [Isa. 11:4] 9 But the lawless one's presence is according to the operation of Satan with every powerful work and lying signs and portents 10 and with every unrighteous deception for those who are perishing, as a retribution because they did not accept the love of the truth (John 8:31-32) that they might be saved. 11 So that is why God lets an operation of error go to them, that they may get to believing the lie, 12 in order that they all may be judged because they did not believe the truth but took pleasure in unrighteousness.
2 Thessalonians 2:8-12 CEV
(8) Then he will appear, but the Lord Jesus will kill him simply by breathing on him. He will be completely destroyed by the Lord's glorious return. [Isa. 11:4]
(9) When the wicked one appears, Satan will pretend to work all kinds of miracles, wonders, and signs.
(10) Lost people will be fooled by his evil deeds. They could be saved, but they will refuse to love the truth (John 8:31-32) and accept it.
(11) So God will make sure that they are fooled into believing a lie.
(12) All of them will be punished, because they would rather do evil than believe the truth.
